bold cuffs and garden-inspired gems

It’s finally time to shed cold-weather layers and to let your jewelry shine.

If an #armparty is your vibe, layer the season’s boldest takes — gold chain-link circlets, sculptural cuffs or bangles covered entirely in diamonds — for a more-is-more aesthetic.

But if kitschy gems are more your speed, look to this summer’s garden-party variety of delightful baubles: leafy diamond rings, butterfly pendants, or a choker stacked with so many flowers it puts even the most bountiful bouquet of the real deal to shame.

Below, a few of our favorites.
